[news.software.b] Exit status 1 from inews

news@caen.engin.umich.edu (CAEN Netnews) (09/20/90)

I get the following error repeatedly:

Sep 20 00:00:59 localhost nntpd[4929]: spawn: /usr/lib/newsbin/inject/inews exit status 1

Most of the articles in question are coming from a forwarded mailing list.
The program that does the forwarding has two options -- exit status 0
or exit status 75, which is a TEMPFAIL for sendmail.  Another thing I 
noticed were a lot of duplicate articles from local machines.
What I think might be happening is that the program is trying to send
the mail message to the newsgroup a second time, and since inews doesn't
come back with a sucessful completion it assumes it's just a tempfail
and requeues it when it's reall a duplicate and should be discarded.

Do you think that this is the case?  Do you have any suggestions?
